How Wyoming companies register with New Jersey

Order the Wyoming certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing (free) is ordered from Wyoming separately; it is not part of our New Jersey order. New Jersey wants the Wyoming certificate current, so it is ordered close to the filing date.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your New Jersey registered agent, with your Wyoming name and formation date and the certificate attached. With the certificate issued on the spot, nothing from Wyoming delays the New Jersey filing. Once New Jersey approves it, the Wyoming company can do business there.
